Description
The first piece in the first part of a 19th-century collection of Swedish folk dances, likely transcribed from local fiddle tradition. It has a simple, direct melody set in a clear, steady meter. At only about forty seconds and with few notes, it makes an accessible introduction to Nordic folk music for intermediate players.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
